This is a chain delete for the K1Max that does not require a riser. It is made up of two main parts 1) a swing arm cable guide at the back of the printer and a zip tie enabled swivel at the front that allows a zip tie to be connected between the lever and the tool head.
Update: 6/7/2024: Swing Arm Tool Head Mount Extended v2 was added - utilizes a F623-RS bearing to mount to the tool head
Thank you to @pedrothemagnanimous for the inspiration for the swing arm
